Bidirectional associativity
In Revit, all model information is stored in one place. Any information that gets changed is effectively changed throughout the Revit model.

Conceptual design tools
Revit software offers easy-to-use conceptual design tools that support your creative flow.

HVAC/electrical design room color-fill plans
Communicate design intent visually with room color-fill plans.

Piping and electrical content
Many types of electrical content—including communications, fire safety, data, and nurse call—are available from within Revit.

System browser
Gain greater flexibility during design, and focus on the systems that are important to you with the system browser feature.
